At a recent 'Tallica show in Austin, Trujillo performed a near note-perfect rendition of early-Metallica bassist Cliff Burton's famous solo, "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth," from the band's debut album.

"Mr. Robert Trujillo, and the spirit of Mr. Clifford Lee Burton!" exclaimed front man James Hetfield as the bassist's last note rang out.

Watch the performance above!

Beyond having been included on Metallica's first studio album, Kill 'Em All, the "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth" bass solo has a special place in Metallica history.

Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich first took notice of Burton while the bassist was on stage with his pre-Metallica band Trauma in the early-'80s. The Metallica co-founders have well-documented their astonishment watching Burton solo for the first time.
